Chapter 3 Eavesdropping
Chu Heng's eyes suddenly became extremely cold. Even if there were many unresolved disputes between him and Zhou Qingyan, he must not be bullied by others.
The man quietly approached the corner with his face straightened.
Chu Heng's martial arts were taught by his father, and he was especially good at lightness martial arts, so the black shadow just didn't hear a single bit of movement.
Through the gaps in the window paper, the black shadow can vaguely see the person inside who looks like a banished fairy lying lazily on the beauty's couch, and a maid is standing beside her, she looks young, but her pretty face is full of old-fashioned indifference look.
"Recently, the Deputy Pavilion Master caught several spies, and before interrogation, they all swallowed poison and committed suicide." Ah Qiang whispered.
Zhou Qingyan said slowly, "How many did you catch?"
"Three."
Zhou Qingyan snorted suddenly, with his lips slightly upwards and the tails of his eyes downwards: "The only ones who want to come to Tianji Pavilion to get a share of the pie are those people. Feel for them one by one, and report when you find them."
Ah Qiang lowered her head: "Yes."
Ah Qiang remembered a very important matter and was about to speak, but Zhou Qingyan next to her suddenly narrowed her peach eyes.Ah Qiang followed Zhou Qingyan's gaze, and her eyes froze instantly.
Someone stood in the corner outside at some point.
"Who's outside!" Ah Qiang's voice became extremely harsh in an instant, and the voice flew out like an arrow from a bow before it touched her body.
The girl's slender wrist turned slightly, and a small sword blade was pulled out from her sleeve.
crunch.
Chu Heng pushed the door open and entered the room.Ah Qiang's sword was stuck in the narrow gap between the man's eyebrows, and the latter raised his eyebrows: "Miss Ah Qiang, what are you doing?"
A Qiang was a little dazed, and from the corner of her eye, the person in the corner had disappeared.
Could this man be an accomplice of the spy!Ah Qiang pursed her lips tightly, and the blade of the sword pressed against Chu Heng motionless.
Zhou Qingyan's voice sounded from behind: "Ah Qiang, it's not big or small. This is your half master, so hurry up and back down."
Ah Qiang turned around and was about to speak when Zhou Qingyan's calm eyes met her silently.Ah Qiang choked back her words, bowed her head and said "yes", then bowed to Chu Heng and apologized.
Chu Heng was quite generous: "Miss Ah Qiang, don't worry about it."
After Ah Qiang stepped back, only Chu Heng and Zhou Qingyan were left in the room for an instant.Zhou Qingyan yawned and lay on the beauty's couch as if he had no bones.
"Why did it take you so long?" The man pouted slightly, and the charming fox immediately turned into a coquettish kitten.
Chu Heng stood still, just now even Ah Qiang suspected that he was with the shadow in the corner, but this most cunning person didn't find out, he didn't believe it.
Zhou Qingyan raised his head and waved at him: "If you don't come here to feed me, my face will be cold."
Only then did Chu Heng walk over: "Eat by yourself."
"My hands hurt, and I can't lift the chopsticks." Zhou Qingyan pulled Chu Heng down and sat down, and when he turned over, he leaned his head on the man's strong thigh, and said pitifully.
Zhou Qingyan's head resting on Chu Heng's thigh is not heavy, but this person has never known how to write the words dignified, elegant and upright since he was a child, and he has to change his position when he feels uncomfortable for a while, and rubs his pants lazily for a while. .
Chu Heng's fists tightened and tightened: "Sit down properly."
Zhou Qingyan sighed faintly: "But my back hurts, and I'm tired from sitting."
Chu Heng paused for an instant when he was about to turn his head away, but he turned his head and raised his face in an instant.The noodles were not cold after so long, so I picked them up with chopsticks and fed him bite by bite.
Zhou Qingyan finally got his wish and stopped being a demon for the time being, and took a bite of noodles with a smile and looked at the handsome man for a while.
Chu Heng has completely lost his temper with such naked eyes, and occasionally said: "Eat noodles, don't look around."
Zhou Qingyan was obedient and obedient.
Not long after, Chu Heng froze: "...don't touch me."
Chu Heng was physically and mentally exhausted from feeding this side, and finally he was served by this uncle, and his hair was almost dry.Zhou Qingyan dozed off on his lap.
From Chu Heng's perspective, Zhou Qingyan's fair and slender neck and thin waist could be seen clearly.It's strange to say that this person has practiced martial arts with him since he was a child, and he was punished and scolded together when he did something wrong. Speaking of which, he has suffered a lot of injuries, but he was born with no scars.
He looked like a pampered young master.
Chu Heng thought about this for a while, and almost forgot that he is indeed a pampered young master now.
For some unknown reason, the man suddenly stretched out his hand and gently stroked Bai Nen's neck. The cold touch made Zhou Qingyan shrink back subconsciously: "Well... what are you doing?"
Zhou Qingyan was obviously very sleepy too, and he was so dazed that he couldn't lift up his strength.After adapting to the temperature in Chu Heng's hands, he lay back on his stomach again, and after a while, he heard the sound of light and regular breathing.
Hearing the insignificant breathing of that idea, Chu Heng's eyes could not help but darken.
The piece of white snow that he could see was like a mysterious sky outside the sky, which made him want to touch it, to explore the deeper, undisclosed area...
Zhou Qingyan moved his body uncomfortably: "Zi...Yuan, hug me~"
The dark cloud in Chu Heng's eyes disappeared in an instant, and the man hugged him silently, but frowned suddenly.
He was full of reluctance when he hugged him before, but now he realizes that this person is much lighter than he imagined, even lighter than three years ago.
It is not easy for the son-in-law to be a big official. A few days ago, he fell ill and had to have needles all day long, and the tea was full of blood and phlegm.
For some reason, this sentence flashed across Chu Heng's mind, he pursed his lips and carefully put the person on the bed before he could react, and his hands already covered Zhou Qingyan with the quilt on his own.
After Zhou Qingyan fell asleep, he finally stopped yelling at "bullying" Chu Heng. The latter calmed down and took a look: the cheeks of the man on the bed were much thinner than three years ago, there was a deep blue color under the eye sockets, and his face was no longer rosy.
Chu Heng felt distressed for no reason.
"It's so difficult to walk alone, why did you leave me in the first place?" Chu Heng's voice was low, as if he was talking to a sleeping person, or muttering to himself.
Chu Heng quietly blew out the candles and went out. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a few people hiding in an inconspicuous corner outside the window—the leader was Ah Qiang, and he felt relieved.
With someone protecting him, he should be able to sleep peacefully.
Ah Qiang stared at Chu Heng's leaving back and frowned delicately. A tall man beside him asked in a low voice, "Eleven, is this the concubine brought back by the pavilion master? Do you want someone to watch it? "
Ah Qiang was silent for a long time, then shook her head: "Young Master attaches great importance to him." Young Master seldom has someone who holds such high regard in his heart, since Young Master values him, they will believe him unconditionally.
It was already late at night when Chu Heng walked back to his yard.
The housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion assigned two or three maids and servants to serve the "new madam", and they have already fallen asleep at the moment.
Chu Heng didn't care about going straight into the room. The moment the door opened, the candles in the room lit up, but Chu Heng didn't make any action to light the candles.
There were two people standing in the dim light of the candlelight. The one on the left was a woman with exquisite figure, holding a big pipe in one hand, and playing with the cold dagger in the other hand. When she saw Chu Heng I couldn't wait to wink.
On the right is a man with a beard and a pot belly, at least two heads shorter than the woman next to him.
When the man saw Chu Heng, he immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Master, you are finally back."
Ignoring the woman's winking eyes, Chu Heng walked straight through, and all the lit candles were extinguished the moment he walked past: "Is there something wrong in the house?"
The man answered politely: "There is nothing wrong with the mansion."
Just as the woman was about to take a puff of cigarette, she suddenly felt the eyes around her froze, and put down the pipe helplessly: "The west mansion is fine. The fan ghost from the east mansion came to report a few days ago, saying that there was a flood on Jiangnan East Road, and please take care of it as soon as possible." Decide not to hurt our people."
There was finally a crack in Chu Heng's indifferent expression: "Tell Shan Gui to build the dam early and arrange all the people in the mansion properly."
The woman showed her face and smiled, quite a bit like smiling.
Suddenly there was a slight movement, and the last candle in the room was also extinguished.Usually at this time, the Lord wants them to retreat.
Just as the two nodded and were about to leave, they heard Chu Heng say again: "Du Ruyi, don't leave yet."
The man left quietly, and the woman stayed behind and lowered her head: "What is the Lord's order." Chu Heng seldom opens his mouth to keep someone, and Du Ruyi knew that he couldn't joke around at this time.
Chu Heng was silent for a long time in the dark.
It was so long that Du Ruyi raised his head in doubt: "My lord?"
Chu Heng gritted his teeth.Just at that moment, he actually wanted Du Ruyi to find out the origin of the black shadow squatting in the corner of Zhou Mansion.
This is the Zhou Mansion, the mansion of the owner of the Tianji Pavilion. How could Zhou Qingyan not know that there were spies in this mansion, maybe he was playing tricks on him on purpose.
but······
What if Zhou Qingyan really didn't know?That Ah Qiang doesn't look like a strong martial artist, and the people under her are even more unreliable.
"Forget it, you go out first." Chu Heng said lightly.
Du Ruyi responded and was about to leave, but before he got up, Chu Heng stopped him again: "My lord, what do you want this subordinate to do?"
The Lord has never been an indecisive person, what happened today?
Chu Heng finally said: "Stay in the capital for now and find out how many spies there are in the Zhou Mansion, and find all the spies."
If he could meet spies on the first day, then this Zhou mansion might be a sieve, through which many poisonous insects have been penetrated inside and out.
Du Ruyi: "Yes."
Chu Heng breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the dark night outside the window, he could have a good rest today.
Early the next morning.
Zhou Qingyan pestered Chu Heng while eating breakfast, causing the latter's face to turn livid and almost smash the bowl, so he stopped.
The servants removed the food, Zhou Qingyan relaxed lazily, and another Pingting maid came up and smiled, "My lord."
Ah Qiang is not here, it seems that the shift is over.There was a flash of light in Chu Heng's eyes, and he remained silent under the vague gaze of the maid.
Zhou Qingyan took Chu Heng's hand with a smile: "Ziyuan, let's go listen to the book."
Before Chu Heng opened his mouth, he heard the maid say softly: "This storyteller is well-known in the whole capital, and the young master spent a lot of trouble in order to invite him to speak the book."
Chu Heng refused as soon as he spoke, and his tone was a little unnatural: "You are the master, so it's up to you to decide."
Zhou Qingyan bent his lips and smiled, and the corners of his eyes were drawn up to look more and more charming: "Then you carry me?"
